Here are some fun ideas to get the celebration going:
- Throw a Girl Scout Bash - Ask the girls how they want to celebrate the Girl Scout birthday as a group. You may suggest cooking foods from Savannah, trying Girl Scout cookie recipes, or decorating cupcakes with green frosting.
- Visit with Juliette Low - Let the girls design an event around Girl Scouting's early years. Activities can include music, art, and the culture of Savannah or their own hometown.
- Create a Scrapbook - Suggest the idea to the girls - they can bring in photos, drawings, and poems of what Girl Scouting has meant for them. The girls can decorate the pages and the cover together.
- Focus on Environment - Explain how Girl Scouts prides itself on making a positive impact in communities and the natural environment. Talk with the girls about leaving the world a better place than they found it. Ask them how they might make a difference in their neighborhoods. The ideas can be placed in a hat and one can be selected for the girls to do as a group. If the girls are stuck for ideas, suggest planting a tree in a local park or a recycling activity.
Whether the girls decide to have a birthday party or plant a tree, the important thing is to provide an opportunity for the girls to celebrate together. Happy Birthday Girl Scouts!
